Greek Pagans honor Zeus with a ceremony?

Willowlady @Willowlady (10658) • United States 27 Jan 07

My local paper carried this article which stated that a clutch of modern pagans honored Zeus at a 1800 year old temple in the heart of Athens. The first known ceremony of its kind held there since the ancient Greek religion was...

oceangirl I'm very happy to see that the Greek laws are being relaxed enough to allow those who wish to honor the Old Ways to do so openly! There are people who practice not just the Greek Old Ways, but also the Celtic ways, the Norse ways, and even the Egyptian...

Do you think spanking children should be banned?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 20 Jan 07

California is apparently considering a bill that would make it illegal to spank children under 3 years old. I'm not sure what to make of it. While I disagree with spanking, and I'm not sure how much of an impression it makes...

Do you have powers like Alison in Medium?

thescribbler @thescribbler (386) • United States 20 Jan 07

oceangirl The vision of knowing your professor had died of a heart attack is really freaky, indeed!! I am inclined to believe that there are some people like you who are capable of doing things like this, or who simply have experiences like this that they can't...

What's the largest ferret you've ever had or heard of?

oceangirl @oceangirl (170) • United States 31 Dec 06

At a shelter I once saw a 6lb boy. He was amazing! Then I got my baby Leeloo, and I met her daddy. He's HUGE! He's also over 5lbs. Who's the biggest domesticated ferret you've ever seen or had, or even just heard of?

oceangirl Might it not also be because this category is titled "depression," and people who are depressed frequently think of suicide? Suicidal thoughts are a clear symptom, one of the most drastic, of depression. Obsessive suicidal thoughts would, I would imagine,...

oceangirl Maybe it's because, as Bob Newhart observed, it really is absurd to pick leaves from a plant, roll them up in a piece of paper, stick it in your mouth, and light it ON FIRE. But of course, that's JMHO. :)

What form of paganism do you practise?

Raevyn1972 @Raevyn1972 (275) • Canada 9 Jan 07

Just as there are a myriad of Christian denominations, so too are there of pagan practises. Which one do you adhere to? Wicca? Druidry? Asatru? Kemeticism (Egyptian)? A mixture? Personally I have been studying paganism as an...

oceangirl This may sound silly or childish, but I've found that "rocking" myself to sleep really helps a lot. I imagine the repetition of a particular word might do the same kind of thing, but I seem to benefit from the physical rocking motion. Might be one of the...

oceangirl I'd very much like to visit pre-Christian era sites like Newgrange. It's a sort of megalithic structure that's about 5,000 years old and was likely built before the Celts arrived. No one is certain what it was built for, but it is aligned with the rising...

oceangirl Troopy, it really is a catch-22. I hate that part. I have several times been tempted to buy a ferret I might see in a bad way at a pet store, but then I think -- if I keep doing that, then what incentive do the pet stores have to take better care of their...
